For women who love the outdoors, or men who want the females in their lives to love the outdoors......encouraging hunting, hiking, camping, biking, climbing, ATVing, fishing, skiing, outdoor appreciation and much more!

Outdoor U had a great post on taking a youngster fishing. The tips and suggestions in it were so great, that I had to link to it. I recommend you read the full version, but here's a sampling of my favorite ideas from the original post:

Don't use Mickey Mouse gear even for small children. Tackle foul-ups are just as frustrating for them as they are for you.

Kids want ACTION. They don't care if their fish are small.

Make a big deal out of whatever they reel in.

We happen to think it's a good idea to take some fish home to eat. It teaches kids there's nothing wrong with harvesting a few fish according to the state and local laws. Kids should know that there is a food chain and they are part of it.

And there's more good ideas than just those. It's a well written post!
